Course description

The European Union (EU) is always evolving. Over time, it has transformed from a mere economic community into a distinct political entity, working alongside its member states. The national laws of EU countries are increasingly intertwined with European law as EU legislation harmonizes and standardizes various legal areas. Given the growing significance of the EU and its legal framework, there is a rising demand for highly educated and specially trained lawyers. This is where the LL.M. degree program steps in. It offers an in-depth understanding of European legal structures and equips students for top-tier legal careers within the EU or even on a global scale. The program covers a range of study subjects, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to navigate the complexities of European law and contribute effectively to the legal landscape.
